Capitalizing on Opportunity and Realizing Strategic Growth via M&A for SMEs & Family Businesses

August 9, 2021

M&A is not just for mega deal corporates and funds. It can create shareholder value, particularly in down markets. SMEs should be taking a serious look at strategic M&A as achieving organic growth is very difficult in slow growth markets (as you need to take business away from a competitor). SME’s do not need to be bystanders or merely targets in the process of shareholder value creation via M&A. M&A involves complex issues which need to be clearly understood before proceeding down this path. Mistakes can be costly.

Tractus Head of Corporate Finance Richard Smith brings more than 25 years of corporate finance experience in Asia. Richard has and continues to work across a range of industries with a particular focus on cross-border transactions and bridging the gap between owner-entrepreneurs and corporate/financial/institutional investors.
